Italy, France, and Spain have shut down all but essential commerce.

This is a global pandemic. My OP explains why this particular virus, SARS-CoV-2, may prove to be particularly dangerous to those who are young and healthy. The potential for a Cytokine Storm is the answer. The OP advises the young and healthy not to minimize the risk of this disease, and it advises them to be careful.

If that’s “alarmist,” so be it. I consider my OP to be a reasonable public health warning and an explanation for why young and healthy people are dying from COVID-19.
